Table in a Chemistry text

[Chris Clemens]

Attached is a large table from a Chemistry text. In the Example column in print the prefix is in bold. Must it also be bold in braille?

I would appreciate any suggestions on formatting the table. Am I right in assuming that since it is numbered it should be centered on line 25?

Since the first column already lists the prefix, you wouldn’t need to also bold that portion of the word in the last column. It seems to me that just adds unnecessary clutter to an already large table. You should indicate this change from print in a transcriber's note prior to the table (just in case the teacher or someone else in the class refers to the bolded print). I believe that according to Formats, since this is a sequentially numbered table, you would have to place an identifier on line 25.
